"Spongebob!" Patrick screamed in horror as soon as he woke up. He forcefully shot out of his rock in his pajamas. He ran to Spongebob's house and ran into the door, knocking it down. He ran up to Spongebob's room and threw the poor little sponge onto the floor. Spongebob awoke with a fright and leaped several feet into the air with a girlish shriek.
"Patrick! I told you not to scare me like that again!" Spongebob scolded.
"But this is serious!" said Patrick, close to tears.
"What's the matter Patrick?" Spongebob consoled.
"Jimmy's gone!" Spongebob too was on the verge of tears.
"What could have happened to him?"
"I don't know, all I found was a trail of carrot crumbs, but that was my breakfast."
"Patrick, how could you eat our only clue?" Spongebob yelled.
"Well, sorry!" Patrick yelled back.
"Are you sure there weren't any other clues?" Spongebob asked desperately.
"Well, the only other weird thing is that when I went back to my rock after following the trail, my footprints weren't like they usually are. They looked kind of like Jimmy's."
"That's it Patrick!"
"What's it?"
"Those weren't your footprints, those were Jimmy's. If we follow them, we'll be led right to Jimmy!"
"Well, let's get back to my rock so we can investigate!"
"Patrick, we may want to put some different clothes on." Spongebob said. The two friends sprinted to the roof, where there was a trap door the led to a deep tunnel, which Spongebob and Patrick slid down on fire poles. They ran down a short narrow underground passageway to a chest of clothes, where Patrick put on an outfit not unlike Sherlock Holmes, and Spongebob put on an outfit not unlike Indiana Jones. The two friends then ran down another short passage to a huge wall with lots of odd contraptions strapped to it. Spongebob selected a flashlight, a whip, and other various instruments useful for exploring caves, which he put in a bag he slung over his shoulder. Patrick selected a magnifying glass and a notebook. Both friends also had a walkie talkie so that they could communicate. The friends quickly walked down a final tunnel and into a large chamber. Spongebob pushed a button on the wall. After a few seconds, all entrances to the chamber closed, and a large fan under them blew powerfully, launching them upward. They flew upward for a while before they hit a small circle of metal in the ceiling, which turned out to be a manhole. When they hit it, they flew out of the tunnels and into the middle of a busy street in downtown Bikini Bottom. Spongebob dusted himself off.
"Patrick, you stay downtown nd search here, I'll go see what I can find out from those footprints!"
